LCheera.j Why, look 81 this eRropaign. A
number Of gentlemen, calling thefnseiyes
reform DeEnocrats, have addressed what are
called Nichols meetings, telling fhe peopie
q Lolplimana that, Sam Mellnery, who was
plaeed in the gubernRtorial Office after
nomination BY a. Democratic convention,
and sitter an election by an Overwhelming
majority Of Democratic votes, has
Ii{2Fftelied the confidence Of the Democracy Of
this State; that De has dgfaulted in popular
esteem; that he ig unworthy 10 be ipfrustgd
With the responsible duties OF that Office and
that be deserves 70 be turned out Oh that
Office With the stigma Of personal disgrace
These ere inferentially the charges that are
made upon him. Now, my friends, this was
going on for nix weeks. These gentlemen
were trying to
POISON THE MINDS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Of this State against the Democratic admin
lstrahon, which had been placed in power BY
the Democracy Of Louisiana Could he re-
main silent under such circumstances; could
he allow this indictment to be drawn up
against his administration without making
an answer to it; could he suffer these aecu-
sstiOns ana charges TO go broadcast TO the
| Democracy Of this State who placed conf
deuue in him and allow them 10 remain I'M
answered, ,unoontroverted and nnrefGted.
Never, and applause
BE waited for six weeks and then be vent
/ before the people; not in boastful spirit
| not Wanting his exploits as Governor OF this
| State, but he submitted hig administration
! TO the Judgment Of the intelligent people OF
| Louisiana; invited the Wgilant criticism Of
| his blttetest opponents, and appealed to the
fair dealing, 70 the self-regpeet, to the
! patriotism Of the Democracy Of the State Of
| Louisiana, whether he has been false to any
i pledge that he has ever made, whether he
| has 0een rgcreant to any duty that has been
4 imposed upon him by the Democracy Of this
/ State or by the people Of this State, and he
4 tells these reform gentlemen, 'lf you can

Like Statesman. He il not q man who

4 them, oounsels with them, gives
them the benefit Of his personal and
